El Paso has long sight lines in some areas, but pedestrian crashes also happen where visibility changes fast—turn lanes, lighting at night, glare, construction zones, and sudden changes in traffic flow.
Common local patterns we investigate include:
- Turning-vehicle incidents at intersections where drivers accelerate to make a light
- Night and low-light collisions near entertainment corridors and busy commercial areas
- Construction or lane reconfiguration that affects where pedestrians walk and how drivers see them
- Bus-stop and sidewalk-adjacent crossings where drivers may expect fewer pedestrians
- Wet pavement and sand/dust conditions that can affect braking distance
In many cases, it’s not enough to show someone “was careless.” We work to show what a reasonable driver should have seen, when they should have reacted, and how the crash sequence matches the physical and medical evidence.
